Minnesota Touches the Railroads.

ST.. PAUL, March 1.-THE Nixon bill has
received the governors signature. That
provision of the bill which was particu-
larly Objectionable to the railroad people,
who appeared before his excellency Satur-
day to induce him not to sign it, is as rol-
lows:
when the route selected requires use of
tracks of more than one railway company,
the rate of transportation for the entire
distance shall not exceed the rate for an
equal distance over the tracks of single
company except the addition Of a reason
able rate for transfer"
News that the bill had been signed was
a surprise to railroads to whom it is un-
QuestiOnahly distasteful.

Viewing the Remains.

New YORK, March 10.-All afternoon
long line of people was passing through
the church to view the remains of Rev.
Beecher. The crowd continued to increase
and the rush was so great to gain admis-
sion that it was found necessary TO increase
the force of officers around the church
doors. The throng was made up of almost
all nationalities. 1t was estimated that
n early 10000 people passed before the cata-
talque during the day. There were so
that special place had to be made near
the platform at the foot of the pulpit to re-
ceive them.
The will of Mr.. Beecher was read this
afternoon in the presence of the family. 1t
is probable that it will not be filed for pro-
bate. as one OF its provisions authorizes the
members of the family to settle among
themselves division Of what there is left.
The chief feature of it is that Mrs. Beecher
is first provided for. Tonight the resi-
dence is brilliantly lighted. Mrs. Beecher
was this afternoon looking over her hus-
bands papers. The mem bers of the fami-
ly were dressed in light clothing as though
going to church on Sunday, and everything
around was made as light and cheerful as
possible. in accordance with the often
expressed wish of Mr.. Beecher. Hundreds
of people called during the day and left
Inelr cards, including Henry George and
Rev. DR.. McGlynn. The church tonight
until II o'clock was more crowded than
during the afternoon. A line of people
waiting remains exended from the church
to Fulton street. nearly three blocks, and
one block down Fulton. 4a

Shaken From the Track,

New YORK, March 8.-Fire occurred
this morning in the bowery and the trains
on the elevated railroad were blocked by
the flames. A number of passengers left
one of the trains at Seventh street and
started to walk along the narrow foot-path
at the side of the track to the station at
Twentyfourth street. While doing so the
blockade was relieved and the trains started.
Their motion shook the pathway to such
extent that a number of passenger were
thrown down to the street below. Three
of these were instantly killed and several
others badly injured.

Beecher was embalmed to-day. The face

much. Mrs. Beecher was taken out for a

long survive her husband.

The Control of the b, g. o.

PHILADELPHIA, March 10.-There is a
growing suspicion that the consummation
of the proposed purchase of the Baltimore
& Ohio road, controlled by Mr.. Sully and
his syndicate, may be delayed for several
months, and possibly not be effected at all.
NEW YORK, March 10.-Calvin S. Brice,
one of the Richmond Terminal directors
and also supposed to be in the syndicate to
which President Garrett, of the Baltimore
& Ohio. has offered the option of pur-
chase, said after the meeting of the Rich
mond Terminal directors to-day: "We
have not decided yet whether we shall ac-
cept the offered option. I greatly doubt if
Garrett would sell, except on condition
that the Baltimore & Ohio and the Rich
mond Terminal be consolidated, making
5000 miles Of trunk line from New York"
BALTIMORE, March 10.-President Gar
rett this afternoon virtually admitted to
prominent Baltimore man that there
was considerable truth in the newspaper
talk of the big railroad DEAL He would
give no definite idea of the particulars of
the scheme, but from his remarks the in
ference was drawn that the Baltimore &
Ohio road has become factor I'M syndi-
CdOo IildC - W CoHtloi SoiHcIilluS ike Id
tional railway, reaching from Canada to
the Gulf of Mexico, and probably from
New York to the extreme west. It is gen
orally thought that the biggest railroad
deal ON record is about to be made, and
that the passage of the interstate COM
merce bill hurried the affair to settle
ment. A complete chain is liable to have
been formed of companies operating con-
Meeting roads running the entire length of
the North American continent Opinions
differ as to whether single share of the
Baltimore & Ohio stock will be transferred,
but the belief is gaining ground that the
deal involves not only the road itself, but
also its telegraph, express and sleeping car
interests.
